About Physiotherapy, BSc - at University of Nottingham

Physiotherapy is a health care profession concerned with human function and movement and maximising potential. It uses physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore physical, psychological and social wellbeing, taking account of variations in health status. Physiotherapy is science-based, committed to extending, applying, evaluating and reviewing the evidence that underpins and informs its practice and delivery. The exercise of clinical judgement and informed interpretation is at its core. (CSP Curriculum Framework, January 2002.)

In the UK , most physiotherapists work within the NHS, others choose to work in the private sector. However, there are many other settings, such as research, patients homes, charitable organisations, industry, special schools, sports centres, the armed forces, social services and veterinary practices.

The Division aims to develop your ability to manage your own learning in preparation for your future careers as autonomous professionals. You must be able to exercise sound judgement in a variety of clinical situations and be able to evaluate and adapt your therapeutic skills to meet the needs of the individual patient. Problem solving, and the ability to make decisions and communicate effectively (in both clinical and academic situations) are key, and as such are guided and developed throughout the course.
